Hello,

when I run all the cells "Lesson 6: Essay Writer " exercise, I get this error:

HTTPError: 500 Server Error: Internal Server Error for url: http://jupyter-api-proxy.internal.dlai/rev-proxy/tavily_search/search

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks,

That 500 from jupyter-api-proxy.internal.dlai is a server-side issue with the Tavily search proxy, not something on your end.

Two things to try:

  1. Kernel → Restart & Clear Output, then re-run the cells. Sometimes the proxy connection gets into a bad state.
  2. Wait ~15–30 minutes and retry. These 500s are usually transient (Tavily rate limits, temporary outage on the proxy).

If it persists after a few retries across different times, use Lab Help → Get Latest Version to get a fresh notebook, then try again.

This has come up before in this course — it typically resolves on its own. If it’s still failing after a day, post back and we can flag it to the team.
